A chromosomal haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Cuphea hookeriana
Cuphea hookeriana (Lythraceae) is an evergreen flowering shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions, serving as an ornamental plant in landscaping and as a raw material for industry and agriculture. Here, we assembled a haplotype-resolved chromosomal genome for C. hookeriana (2n = 3x = 24) based on HiFi and Hi-C sequencing datasets. The genome was assembled into 16 chromosomes with a total size of 498,761,099 bp, comprising 248,233,948 bp and 240,972,969 bp for haplotypes A and B, respectively. BUSCO evaluation indicated an assembly completeness of 97.7% C value. Approximately 30,000 genes were annotated for each haplotype, achieving a BUSCO complete score of 97%.
